The shrines are really cool.

 

[OricWindstar]

anything really cool I missed in the last hour?

Link's wrestling name is Hylian Heat.

 

[NimbusD]

its so funny w people thinking the trail areas are easy, considering these people are just going up to a puzzle and being like THIS IS HOW WE SOLVE IT! but there's no prompts, it looks like you get a new ability and then have a few tiny puzzles of varying difficulty to figur eout on your own how the ability works. It makes sense.

ugh, so ugly, looks like a GameCube game.

lmao was going to be my exact reply

 

[foxuzamaki]

That boss is intimidating as fuck

my stream on my WiiU is super behind lol

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

It seems like. I hope we have more than 6 though. Still, can´t complain, they all look very interesting and multi-use.

There are 100 shrines

 

[wishdom]

Rupees are confirmed, so I guess we'll be able to buy gear and whatnot

 

[SmackAttack]

This. Fucking. Game. That ice block fight.

Created another one and jumped over. BAM!

Surprise mother fucker!

 

[Kyuur]

There is no way all 100 shrines will give a new insane ability right. That's impossible.

I hope they do and think they could come up with 100 different abilities. It's not like most Zelda games properly utilize the full extent of their 10-15 items anyways, so throwaway ones aren't really a problem and even welcome to differentiate play styles with the open nature of the game.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Did the monk have voice acting?

 

[mentallyinept]

so maybe it's not actually 1%, but it definitely is a very very small part of it.

Might be 1% when you include dungeons.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Link's wrestling name is Hylian Heat.

There's wrestling?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Did the monk have voice acting?

Nope

 

[Vena]

There's wrestling?

At this point there might as well be.

 

[Pandy]

I do have to say, the one thing im disappointed in as that we probably wont see zelda until a much later date.

I critized Sony for a lack of release dates, and in fairness that applies here too.

If I had a release date I'd be booking time off work right now.

 

[Cosmozone]

E3 demos only happen in the great plateau that according to aounuma is about less than 1% of the whole map

I was thinking the time limit automatically reduces the amount of area you will see. But I didn't get the exact wording. Proven otherwise would be cool, though.

 

[ffdgh]

Here's the area of the map they've shown this entire time.



Here's a bit zoomed out.



Here's the entire (?) map.



so maybe it's not actually 1%, but it definitely is a very very small part of it.

Woah........

 

[DarthButcher]

Old Man Rauru or Daphne - Cast your votes now!

 

[crooked spin]

Slow down wanna read that text...

 

[AjNimajwalHansel]

Oh, I spotted "travel instantly".

 

[Plum]

Hoping it isn't the exact same model for each shrine trial. That would completely ruin the game for me, almost as much as a town without exactly 3 and a half different types of building (no more, no less).

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Ugh girl skipping Old Man dialogue. I'm trying to read that.

 

[EndlessSky]

Here's the area of the map they've shown this entire time.

Combined with 100+ shrines, it could be less than 1% like they say.

 

[weevles]

sshhhh old man no talk, only treasure.

 

[RedSwirl]

Finally tuning in during lunch.

To be honest, Zelda pretty much looks like any other game from the last 10 years. Still looks good though.

It does seem to be using survival and sandbox elements that are common in other video games these days. What I'm counting on is Nintendo's ability to balance stuff like this, as well as still having good level design. We'll see if Nintendo can actually make a more fun survival game.

 

[Kinsei]

That shrine was cool (pun not intended) but way too short and there was no incentive look around.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

Using that ice rune to open up that gate from the bottom up was ace. Good stuff.

There is no way all 100 shrines will give a new insane ability right. That's impossible.

Maybe there are special non-rune non-shieka slate items hidden within these shrines.
But even then I think it's reasonable to assume that most of these shrines won't give you any items outside of the spirit MacGuffins.

 

[Sawneeks]

Slow down wanna read that text...

Someone will go and screenshot them....

That or wait for the huge GameXplain video on it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Somebody needs to analyze what the old man said. They flew through that on purpose

 

[foxuzamaki]

I critized Sony for a lack of release dates, and in fairness that applies here too.

If I had a release date I'd be booking time off work right now.

haha I am actually referring to the character zelda, sorry!
The date being so far behind does have something to do with that though.

 

[Chiramii]

We're going outside the plateau boys!

 

[Brinbe]

beyond the plateau now. yay

 

[Omnicent]

it is almost time to explore beyond!

 

[Ashodin]

OUTSIDE THE PLATEAU NEXT :O

 

[MiamiWesker]

OMG it keeps going. Outside the plateau now.

 

[BlueSteel]

Somebody needs to analyze what the old man said. They flew through that on purpose

I think it was saying that the blue parts on the map (the towers?) you can autotravel to.

 

[Moff]

damn they sure are showing a lot of this game

how long will this be?

 

[Peléo]

There are 100 shrines

Not talking about the Shrines, but the Technology itens.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Holy shit we going outside the plateau yall!

Not talking about the Shrines, but the Technology itens.

I see boo

 

[KooopaKid]

Cool you can skip the text at the end of each shrines. We dodged a bullet there.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Awesome next demo is outside the plateau.

 

[Not]

HYPE outside the plateau

I wonder what kind of accessories you can buy and the benefits they have

 

[AjNimajwalHansel]

That shrine was cool (pun not intended) but way too short and there was no incentive look around.

Yeah, simple for sure. They said these would definitely grow in complexity and difficulty throughout the game. These are like the tutorial ones basically.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

"Opal is usually traded for Rupees but it can also be used for crafting". Not direct quote of the item description because it was only on for a second, but maybe there are still at least some Rupees in the game? Other items have "sell" descriptions as well.

 

[Altazor]

We're going to see areas outside the Plateau! Yay!

 

[ASIS]

I just came back, did they show any dungeons yet?

 

[Moaradin]

This game looks so good. I really hope it comes out with the NX release. I want to play the best version possible, but I don't think I'll be able to hold out if it comes earlier on Wii U.

 

[SmackAttack]

WE OUT THERE

 

[PKrockin]

damn they sure are showing a lot of this game

how long will this be?

I think this will be the last segment.

 

[John Kowalski]

please go to the beach

 

[antonz]

That shrine was cool (pun not intended) but way too short and there was no incentive look around.

They did state earlier that the shrines get more complex as you go. The 4 Shrines we have seen are basically early ones to get basic abilities.
